Menthyl nicotinate is a multifunctional active ingredient that stands out for its unique properties for the skin. It is particularly valued for its ability to deeply penetrate and control the release of niacin (vitamin B3), which provides anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits without the effect of redness. It acts as a humectant, which means that it helps maintain the right level of skin hydration, ensuring its softness and elasticity. In addition, this ingredient supports microcirculation in the skin, which can improve its overall appearance and health.
This active ingredient, after breaking through the Stratum Corneum, slowly hydrolyzes into niacin and menthol, which are released gradually throughout the day. Menthol is responsible for the refreshing, cooling sensation, and niacin for warming the skin, which affects the beneficial sensory effect. It significantly activates the skin’s microcirculation, thanks to which it has a positive effect in treatments against the effects of ageing and cellulite. It is adapted to the process of activating hair growth. Its multitasking capabilities are also evident in sunscreens, lip tingling products, balms, oral hygiene products, antibacterial gels and more.
